France's Marine Le Pen Acquitted in Case Over Violating Hate Speech Laws

It is now clear that the frenetic diplomacy we saw this month is essentially ended.

Trump gave Putin what I think was the only thing Putin was seeking - an acceptance that there would be no ceasefire - but - as is Trump's way - he has tried to cover his retreat by re-floating proposals for Ukraine to be given 'security guarantees'. The Europeans are still obsessively talking about these amongst themselves, seemingly oblivious to the fact that the Russians have quashed the idea whilst the Americans - as Trump's contradictory comments about it show - are not really serious about it.

Meanwhile the war goes on, whilst Europe drifts deeper into an economic morass and a potential financial crisis.

In my opinion we are in the calm before the storm. It is very likely that in the autumn we will see another big war between Israel and Iran, a further military crisis for Ukraine, and a very real possibility of a financial crisis in the UK and Europe.

Anyway, much to discuss.....

So many people are all upset about the Chinese students being allowed to come to the US to study. I wouldn’t worry about it. Number one the number that Trump mentioned…600,000 Chinese. WHERE is he getting that number …oh wait I know his rear orifice. Second…I find it hard to believe at this point that that many Chinese are that masochistic as to come to the US amidst all the racist hatred coming from the US. Third the Chinese government is going out of it’s way to entice young people to go to Universities in China.
